Automation Machine Guarding for Robots

Automation Machine Guarding for Robots

Robot protective fences generally use 4040 aluminum profiles and 4545 profiles. We install the fences in pieces, including profiles, mesh plates, connecting accessories, cup-shaped feet, and decorative parts. The fence doors are including single-opening doors, double-opening doors, and sliding doors. Generally, renderings are made according to customer or site requirements, and the dimensions are confirmed and processed.

Robot protective fences have the effect of regional isolation. We can use fences to divide several areas, which are beautiful and neat. In the event of a fault, they can also play an isolation and protection role. People often use warning yellow profiles and nets to remind safety.

We can also customize the color of accessories, such as cup-shaped feet, connectors, etc. can also make into warning yellow. People can also install alarm devices  according to customer needs to sound an alarm in danger. In short, robot protective fences are indispensable in factory workshops.

The main functions of aluminum profile robot protective fences are several aspects. One is to protect the machine, the other is to facilitate the operation of workers, and at the same time, it also plays the role of power off, isolation, and light blocking.

Function

1. Installation sequence standard
The installation sequence is from bottom to top. We must not assemble a little here and there, and there must be continuity.
2. Installation accuracy standard
Industrial fences are with profiles of different sizes, so the accuracy of profile size is very important. The profile cutting error must be less than ±0.5mm, so that we can complete the installation smoothly.
3. Installation tool standard
During the installation process, special installation tools should be used, such as rubber hammers, hexagonal wrenches, etc., which can reduce the scratches on the profile surface and prevent the bolts and nuts from being screwed.
4. Installation completion
The surface of the fence must be smooth and free of burrs. There should be no skew, deformation, shaking, etc. at the end of the installation.
5. The switch door or passage left by the fence
We can open it and use normally during installation, and there should be no obstacles. The logo on the fence should also be installed during the installation process, and no omissions should occur.

With the development of science and technology, artificial intelligence is becoming more and more powerful. Now many factories are using intelligent robots, including welding robots, assembly robots, etc.

The popularity of robots has greatly improved work efficiency and liberated human hands. Some special types of work are very harmful to the human body, and the use of robots can solve this problem well.

However, robots are not like human brains, they can only repeat mechanical labor and will not consider other problems, so it is necessary to protect the area where the robot works, which requires the use of robot protective fences.

So why do robot protective fences choose industrial aluminum profiles to build?

• Aluminum profiles are light in weight, easy to carry, have a certain load-bearing capacity and hardness, and can effectively play a protective role.
• Industrial aluminum profiles have special notches that other profiles do not have. These notches are convenient for installing bolts and nuts, without welding, and saving time and effort. They are also convenient for installing PC boards, which we also fix with bolt and nut slots. In addition, we can assemble industrial aluminum profile fences and use multiple times after disassembly, saving costs.
• The surface of industrial aluminum profiles has a silvery white metallic luster. The fence built is very technological, andwe can match it with high-end robot operators, and gives people a neat and generous feeling.
• The anodized industrial aluminum profiles are also anti-static, which is very suitable for workshops with high static requirements. In addition, anodized aluminum profiles are fireproof and high temperature resistant, suitable for various special occasions.

Cases

Robot protective fences serves as a critical safety feature in robotic operations. It is constructed around the perimeter of a robot’s operational zone to safeguard both the automated processes and personnel. We often integrate these fences with various shutdown and alert systems. As robotic manufacturing becomes more widespread and standardized, the robot protection fence has emerged as an essential element for ensuring secure robotic processes.

Robot protective fences with industrial aluminum profiles are predominantly utilized to demarcate areas for specific uses and limit movement within designated bounds, substantially minimizing safety risks. Depending on the usage scenario, these can take the form of barriers, guardrails, or cautionary tapes.

The mainframe of these fences is industrial aluminum profiles, offering an aesthetically pleasing, robust, and corrosion-resistant construction. Additionally, we can customize the dimensional structure of these fences to meet individual customer requirements.

The manufacturing line is equipped with various production robots and crucial machinery. To effectively organize and delineate the workspace, maintain cleanliness within the operating areas, and restrict unauthorized access to the regions dedicated to robot activity and specialized equipment, it is imperative to mitigate the risk of employee mishaps and potential harm to robots and valuable machinery.

In line with the construction blueprint of the production line, the installation of sophisticated aluminum profile protection barriers for the production line, aluminum profile robotic safety isolation fencing, and aluminum profile guards for industrial apparatus is essential. We can design these aluminum profile solutions to support and enhance the production operations.
